Thelema Mountain Vineyards

Thelema Mountain Vineyards liegt hoch am Helshoogte Pass des Simonsbergs im weltberühmten Weinbaugebiet Stellenbosch in Südafrika.

Gyles Webb, eigentlich Buchhalter von Beruf, kaufte zusammen mit seiner Frau die ursprüngliche Obstfarm 1983 und begann in der Zeit Weinbau in Stellenbosch zu studieren. Der Erfolg ließ nicht lange auf sich warten, bereits Mitte der 90er Jahre waren seine Weine weit bekannt und er gewann zahlreiche Preise und Auszeichnungen.

Bei Thelema Mountain Vineyards sind rote Weine mit Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot sowie Shiraz und Cabernet Franc vorherrschend. Weißweine der Spitzenklasse von den Sorten Sauvignon Blanc und Chardonnay gehören allerdings auch zum Repertoire.

Barbara und Gyles Webb leiten heute das Unternehmen Thelema Mountain Vineyards. Zum Unternehmen gehört seit 2002 auch ein zweiter Weinberg im Elgin Valley, wo die Marke Sutherland Vineyards produziert wird.

Product recommendation

Penfolds Father Grand Tawny 10 Years
With regard to the production process and the type of wine, the Penfolds Father Grand Tawny is similar to a port wine, though it is not allowed to bear the protected term ‘port’. However, this does not diminish the wine’s quality and characteristics - on the contrary, Penfolds, Australia’s most famous winery, has produced a genuine delight. The different base wines are at least 10 years old. Wines of an average of 15 different vintages unite to create the Penfolds Father Grand Tawny, thus ensuring that the nuances of each vintage produce a concentrated Tawny. The base wine is traditionally enriched with specially distilled alcohol containing between 78 and 85 of alcohol by volume, simultaneously increasing both the Tawny’s alcohol content and its complexity. In the glass, the Father Grand Tawny is a light brown of medium intensity with hints of yellow and green at the rim. On the nose, it offers wonderful notes of oak, chocolate, plums and roasted nuts, complemented by nuances of cloves and anise. On the palate, the Tawny shows its full power and elegance, offering sweet notes of fruitcake and concentrated wood aromas. Its finish is wonderfully balanced, fresh and long-lasting.The Penfolds Father Grand Tawny 10 Years is lovely on its own as an aperitif and goes beautifully with sweet desserts.

19 Crimes "The Banished“ Dark Red
The wines of the19 Crimes line cast a spell over every connoisseur: they recall people convicted of crimes in Britain who were exiled to Australia beginning in the late 18th century. The 19 Crimes "The Banished - Dark Red" from South Australia offers notes of grape jam, blackberries, plums and baking spices in its wonderfully multi-layered bouquet, along with harmonious aromas of dark chocolate, oak and vanilla. This blend, consisting of Grenache and Shiraz, is full-bodied and pleasantly round on the palate, showing lovely fruit and spice.The red wine was aged in American oak casks and has a long-lasting finish. This wine leaves a distinctive impression, like the former convicts, who in many cases didn’t succumb to despair but had a formative impact on a country that was new to them. The winemakers themselves write, ‘It would be a crime not to drink this wine.’Augmented reality - Hear their stories With the augmented reality labels, you can listen to the criminals tell their stories, provided that you’ve already downloaded the free app from iTunes or the Google Play store.

Thelema Merlot
The Thelema Merlot aged for 18 months in French oak barrels (30% new). This South African Merlot is wonderfully balanced, juicy, offers fine fruit flavors and hints of toast. The tannins are well integrated and enrich the wine in just the right way. The finale, with underlying notes of dark chocolate is the crowning finish of this fine taste of Stellenbosch.For the winery Thelema the vintage was a real challenge. In a dry, warm and windy year different varieties of grapes were ripe at the same time and made the harvest a true race against time.The experienced crew Thelema has mastered this task. Enjoy the Thelema Merlot with mushroom risotto, pasta dishes and grilled meat.
